We consistently outperform the larger corporate firms – as one of our clients succinctly put it, “No gimmicks, no annoying sales tactics, just professionals who make it look easy”.
The village of Silverstone was originally surrounded by the ancient woodland of Whittlewood Forest. The locals of the village would have made their living from making charcoal and other woodland crafts. In the 12th the woodland surrounding Silverstone became home to a royal hunting lodge century used by King John.
Silverstone was also the site of a 12th century priory known as Luffield Abbey where a monastic community flourished. With the dissolution of the monasteries the Abbey fell into ruin and the last remnants of the structure were covered over in the Second World War when an aerodrome was built on the site. This aerodrome is now home to Silverstone racing circuit and part of the track which is called ‘Abbey Curve’ pays homage to the original Abbey.
The village is still fortunate to have parts of Whittlewood Forest close which are used for outdoor recreation. These include Hazelborough Forest and Bucknell Wood – both of which are currently maintained by the Forestry Commission.
Although Silverstone has moved with the times and has thriving community; it does still maintain a quintessentially English village feel with a number of Listed buildings and is surrounded by beautiful countryside.
Silverstone has excellent transport links and provides an ideal location for families seeking the benefit of good amenities and easy access to the arterial roads of the A43, M1 and M40. Milton Keynes and Northampton are approximately 30 minutes’ drive from where train journeys can be made to London Euston in 1 hour. For a more local range of amenities and facilities, the market towns of Brackley and Towcester are just a short drive away.
The village is also close to a number of excellent schools, including Silverstone Primary School, which has been rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted.

This method works particularly well for residential properties, where we can access a wealth of data on similar homes in your area.
